London 24 June, 2011

In what has been heralded as the best Salon PrivĂ© Concours d’ElĂ©gance ever, a simply exquisite 1939 Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 S Berlinetta claimed the honour of ‘Best in Show’ alongside eleven other beautiful category winners, on Friday 24th June, at Syon Park. The world renowned London-based concours presented its rarest and most stylish collection to date, with over 80 cars displayed and paraded in the palatial grounds of Syon House, the London home of the Duke of Northumberland.

The Alfa Romeo which scooped the ultimate accolade, is a fascinating car for many reasons; Not only is it a rare and beautifully restored example of this hugely desirable pre-war model, but this particular car had been purchased new by the infamous Italian dictator, Benito Mussolini, who gifted the car to his mistress Clara Petacci. It is said that Ms. Patacci took her last ever journey in the car before being arrested.

Salon PrivĂ© co-founder, Andrew Bagley, said of this year’s event: “We are so honoured to have brought together such a stunning collection of beautiful and historically significant cars for the 2011 concours, which included amazing collections of sports cars, touring cars, racing cars and motorcycles. This concours is now truly world-class and an event for the UK to be proud of”.


In addition to the mouth-watering collection of cars and motorcycles, the event also attracted an outstanding panel of judges for this year’s event. Derek Bell, who is a long time supporter of Salon PrivĂ©, was once again a key member of the panel, and this year he was joined by an esteemed collection of individuals who are all acknowledged experts in their fields.
